Northstar goes past 500″: Changes Closing Date

The other day, we reported that Northstar would shut down on April 17. Well, with over 500 inches of snow on the ground, the resort has decided to stay open another week. So, set your calendars for an April 24 closing date.

“We’ve had record setting snowfall since the season started, and have surpassed our season average of 350 inches by almost 150 percent,” said Bill Rock, Northstar’s COO. “With these incredible snow conditions and more snow in the forecast, we’ve decided to extend the season to allow our guests more time to get out on the mountain and enjoy it.”

And spend some more money, right? It’s all good by all of us here at Slope Dope central. Let it snow so mo’.
